All face with one stick: 14 universal mono make-up products
Text: Moore Sobolev, authoring the telegram-channel Fierce & Cute
And to those of us who love to make up for a long time, and those who prefer fast makeup sometimes need money for all occasions - such that they can make a full-fledged make-up in one jar and not bathe. Moore Sobolev collected multifunctional pieces, each of which alone will cope with several tasks.
Liquid glitter Lime Crime Diamond Crushers in the shade of Lit
1990 rub.
Diamond Crushers' first mission is to be lip toppers: they turn matte lipstick into a riot of sparkles. But the beauty of the product is in its versatility: it can be applied on top of a balm or just on bare lips (then there will be a dry and sufficiently resistant coating), mixed with a transparent lip gloss (you will get a traditional lip gloss with a large glitter) or use it as a highlighter for cheekbones, clavicle and the corners of the eyes. Golden-pink Lit looks luxurious in all variants.
Stick "L'Etoile" Selection Voile de Peau in a shade of Plaisir
1199 rub.
The classic form factor for multifunctional products is lip and cheek sticks, especially comfortable when traveling, when you don't want to spend a lot of time on make-up. Usually blusher is produced in this form, but L'Etoile Selection made a line this spring, which includes bronzer and two highlighters, and the shades are chosen so that they look good on the lips too.
Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Highlight + Contour Palette in Matte Sculpting
867 rub.
The main problem of Physicians Formula is the desire to confuse the buyer in the names: under the name Bronze Booster there are several products, but our heroine is a matte palette for sculpting. This is a great everyday thing: pigmented shades, thick, well-shaded and suitable not only for the face, but also for the eyes. The set of flowers is very good - versatile and without red.
Crumbly pigment LASplash Diamond Dust in a shade of Zodiac
1090 rub.
Last year's new LASplash, crumbly pigments Diamond Dust, exist in a matte, shiny and metallic texture. Like any printed pigment, with dense application they require a base, but otherwise - complete freedom: it can be applied not only as shadows, but also with rouge and highlighters. The fiery scarlet matt Zodiac looks great on the eyes, on the cheeks, and on the lips over the primer.
Wycon Shimmer Cheeks Highlighter Holo Highlighter
1349 rub.
The brand suggests offering a duochrome lavender-pink highlighter from the spring collection on the whole face, including the lips. The texture of the product is creamy, but it turns into powder: the product itself is hidden in the cap, and the highlighter is applied with a small round sponge.
Chanel Poudre à Lèvres Lip Powder in Rosso Pompeiano
2760 rub. in Chanel boutiques
Chanel's spring novelty is a box in two compartments, where on one side is a lip balm, and on the other, a pigment that needs to be applied on top of it. The piece seems impractical, but in fact convenient: first, you can vary the density of deposition from the gentle to the nuclear, and secondly, the colored powder can be used as a blush or shade.
NARS The Multiple G-Spot Sticker
3199 rub.
The Multiple cream sticks are designed for use on the lips, cheeks and eyes - yes, NARS products are not cheap, but you can get one for all occasions. The hue under the ominous name of the G-Spot (early Francois Nars was very fond of giving near-erotic names to his means) is in fact conservative - a noble and even modest dark rose with a golden sheen.
Cream pigment Illamasqua Cream Pigment in shade Androgen
1799 rub.
Illamasqua matte cream pigments are recommended for use on any parts of the face and even for body art: they are waterproof and fixed after application. Shades, contrary to the usual brand, in the series is not very much, and they are all fairly conventional - but universal. So, the beige-pink Androgen nicely refreshes the face, and in any capacity: on the eyes, on the cheeks, and on the lips.
Essence Mix & Match Your Look
581 rub.
The palette of bright cream pigments used to be bought only from expensive professional brands, but now you can wake up your internal make-up artist for relatively little money. The German democratic brand made a set of nine pigments (one compartment in the palette is empty - it is intended for mixing), which can be applied anywhere: even if the body is painted with roses, even if the arrows are made.
Prismatic pigment Inglot Intense Sparkler in shade 18
1650 rub.
Prismatic and holographic - new black, and this spring all the advanced brands have made their versions of such tools. A variant of the Polish brand Inglot is pressed iridescent pigments that can be worn on one's own eyes or cheekbones or used over colored shadows to get a very cosmic result. The most unusual in the collection - a green-pink shade 18.
Cushion Lancôme Matte Shaker in Kiss Me Chérie
1871 rub.
Strictly speaking, it is lipstick - or rather, a matte tint, which can be applied tightly in several layers or quite thinly in the style of "eating cherry and got a little carried away." But at the expense of a nice applicator, bright pigments and light water texture, Matte Shaker is perfect for use as blush - the main thing is to shade quickly before the tint is absorbed.
Crumbly Make Up For Ever Star Lit Powder Glitter in 2 Frozen Gold Shade
1450 rub.
Dani Sanz, creator of Make Up For Ever, loves everything brilliant and iridescent, and last year released a large line of Star Lit Powder. In one small jar there is a whole children's holiday: a very small crumbly glitter that can be applied on the eyes, face and body, and also mixed with a fixative and used as a liner.
Blush and lip gloss YSL Kiss and Blush in shade 4 Orange Fougueux
2960 rub.
This tint for lips and cheeks is one of the first products of this kind issued by a large brand - and now the YSL bestseller: a cream-resistant pigment in a rectangular bottle that is applied with a built-in neat applicator. It blends perfectly on the cheeks, but if you put a thick layer on your lips, it can dry a little - but the balm solves this problem.
Ciaté London Fun Palette
2649 rub.
It is a palette of shadows, but, as they say in bad advertising, it is capable of more. Ciaté has good pigmentation and good textures, so the shade of fuchsia will perfectly fit as a blush, light ones will be a highlighter, and with bright colors, if you slightly dampen the brush in the retainer, you can draw persistent and beautiful arrows.
